I like C - I was tempted to pick D, but I went against it because it seems as though we are talking about 3 groups of people: younger, older and the group that was expected to show hostility. When I read the sentance like this, I would include include "the" before "younger group" and "older group."

"Both x and y" argument sounds real tempting. BUT, we are referring to two collective nouns - younger group of people and older group of people and hence we need to use the definite article to specify these groups!
